He rubbed his eyes violently, as if he had seen something unbelievable: "Wang Sheng, what... what happened to you? Level 39?! Weren't you only level 35?!"

The others in the cave also turned their gazes towards it, and Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, and the others all showed surprise.

Xiao Wu, in particular, who was on good terms with Wang Sheng, stared wide-eyed and couldn't help but step forward: "Wang Sheng, you really broke through to level thirty-nine? How is that possible?!"

Wang Sheng scratched his head, revealing a simple and honest smile, but said in a serious tone, "I absorbed a soul ring, so my strength naturally increased."

His tone was flat, as if he were talking about something completely ordinary.

Oscar, however, didn't believe it, his eyes widening: "Are you kidding me? You're only level 39, how could you possibly absorb a spirit ring? Unless you break through to level 40!"

He turned to look at Lu Yu, his eyes full of suspicion. "Boss, this must be your doing, right? Tell me, what exactly did you do!"

Lu Yu simply smiled, spread his hands, and gave an innocent look: "What can I do? Can't Wang Sheng break through by working hard in his cultivation?"

His words were half-true and half-false, tinged with a hint of mockery, which drove Oscar even more crazy, yet he was helpless.

Wang Sheng didn't explain further. He walked straight to Xiao Wu's side, sat down, closed his eyes, and began cultivating, preparing to perform well in the upcoming battle.

Although Xiao Wu was curious, she didn't ask too many questions since there were other people present. She just secretly glanced at Wang Sheng, a complicated look flashing in her eyes.

The next morning, Lu Yu led everyone to prepare for departure.

He opened the system store and spent points to buy a search token.

The talisman in his hand transformed into a golden light and disappeared into the air, soon followed by a faint guiding force.

Lu Yu closed his eyes to sense for a moment, then opened them and said, "Found them. They are in a battle in the valley two thousand feet away. The situation seems bad."

Upon hearing this, everyone perked up and quickly followed in Lu Yu's footsteps.

Two thousand feet was not a long distance for these Soul Masters. Soon, the group arrived at an open valley.

Looking around, a fierce chase was unfolding in the valley.

The three people being chased were the middle-aged man and his men whom they had seen before. Their strength was all above level 45 Soul Master, but at this moment they looked extremely disheveled, with tattered clothes and disordered aura, clearly having been chased to the point of having nowhere to retreat.

Upon seeing Lu Yu and his group, the middle-aged man's expression darkened, and a hint of wariness flashed in his eyes: "You?! What are you doing here?"

His voice carried a hint of anger, clearly displeased by the sudden appearance of Lu Yu and the others.

Lu Yu sneered and slowly stepped forward, his gaze as sharp as a knife: "Treat them as they treat you."

"Hand over everything you have, or none of you will leave here alive today."

His voice was icy, carrying an undeniable air of authority.

Upon hearing this, a flash of anger appeared in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he sneered, "You? A bunch of Soul Venerables dare to spout such nonsense!"

Although he was in danger, he was confident in his level 47 Soul Master strength and did not take Lu Yu and the others seriously.

However, when he sensed the faint aura of breakthrough emanating from Lu Yu, as well as the terrifying pressure emanating from Wang Sheng, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by disdain: "Hmph, a Soul Venerable is still just a Soul Venerable, he can't cause any trouble!"

Before he could finish speaking, the middle-aged man growled, "Attack! I was merciful last time, but this time none of you will leave here alive!"

The spirit rings behind him flashed, signaling his fourth spirit skill, "Wolf Devourer".

He activated instantly, and a strange wolf shadow appeared behind him. The half-human, half-wolf figure increased its speed dramatically, rushing towards Lu Yu with a stench.

A cold glint flashed in Lu Yu's eyes, and he shouted in a low voice, "Thunder!"

A terrifying aura of lightning descended from the sky, carrying destructive power, instantly stunning the middle-aged man, his body stiffening for two seconds, unable to move.

Immediately afterward, Lu Yu moved swiftly, unleashing his soul skill "Thunder".

Streaks of lightning, like dragons, danced across the three middle-aged men, tearing their skin and causing them to scream in agony.

At the same time, Lu Yu unleashed Jeet Kune Do, his fist carrying the power of thunder, striking the middle-aged man with incredible speed.

Each punch carried immense pressure, and bursts of sound echoed through the air. Although the middle-aged man was quite strong, he was forced to retreat steadily under Lu Yu's thunderous offensive, ending up in a sorry state.

On the other side, Wang Sheng led Xiao Wu and the others to meet the other two Soul Masters.

He stood at the very front, his gaze cold, a confident smile playing on his lips.

Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Wang Sheng, are you confident? These people are all Soul Masters!"

Wang Sheng grinned, a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes: "Don't worry, the boss has already helped me raise my strength to a whole new level!"

Before he finished speaking, he let out a low shout and unleashed his soul skill, "Azure Dragon Overlord Body."

Activate instantly.

A ferocious phantom of a dragon flew out from his body, spiraling upwards, its terrifying pressure sweeping across the entire area.

Wang Sheng's aura surged wildly, and his soul power level jumped to level 50 before finally stopping!

"what?!"

The two Soul Masters opposite him stared wide-eyed, their eyes filled with disbelief.

However, before they could react, Wang Sheng had already thrown a punch, and the phantom of the dragon roared as it pounced on the two of them, its terrifying power crushing down like a mountain.

The two Soul Masters didn't even have time to use their Soul Skills before they were crushed by this force, their blood splattering as they died instantly.

In the valley, the aftershocks of the battle gradually dissipated. Amidst the rising dust, Wang Sheng stood in place, exuding a chilling aura, like a war god.

Xiao Wu and the others stared in disbelief at the scene, their eyes filled with shock.

Lu Yu turned to look at Wang Sheng, nodded in satisfaction, and smiled: "Well done."

As the dust in the valley gradually settled, a faint smell of blood filled the air. Sunlight shone through the sparse clouds, making the bloodstains on the ground appear shocking.

Lu Yu stood where the middle-aged man had fallen, the cold glint of the dagger in his hand still lingering, his gaze sweeping coldly over the gradually cooling corpse.

Wang Sheng and the others stood not far away, watching this scene with complex expressions, especially Wang Sheng, whose eyes still held a trace of lingering fighting spirit and shock.

Oscar was the first to come to his senses. His eyes widened, his mouth gaped open so wide it could almost fit an egg, and his voice was filled with disbelief: "Wang Sheng, you... what just happened?! Two Soul Masters! Soul Masters above level 45! And you just... killed them instantly with one punch?!"

He rubbed his eyes hard, as if he doubted he was seeing things, and turned to look at Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong, trying to find a trace of sympathy on their faces, "Did you guys see that? Is this guy even human?!"

Xiao Wu's rabbit ears twitched slightly, her eyes filled with shock. She had a good relationship with Wang Sheng and knew that his strength was only that of an ordinary level 35 Soul Venerable. But that punch just now, carrying the terrifying pressure of the dragon phantom, had crushed two Soul Masters into dust. The power was simply astonishing.

She couldn't help but step forward and ask in a low voice, "Wang Sheng, tell me honestly, what's wrong with you? How did you suddenly become so strong?"

Zhu Zhuqing stood to the side, her cold gaze sweeping over Wang Sheng, a hint of inquiry flashing in her eyes.

She was usually quiet and reserved, but even she couldn't help but frown at this moment, clearly finding Wang Sheng's sudden increase in strength unbelievable.

Ning Rongrong covered her mouth, her face full of astonishment, and murmured, "This...this is too exaggerated, isn't it? Wang Sheng, did you secretly eat some rare and precious herbs?"

Wang Sheng scratched his head, revealing a simple and honest smile, but a hint of pride flashed in his eyes: "It's nothing, it's just that the boss helped me out, and my strength improved a bit."

He said it casually, but the confidence in his tone was unmistakable.

After saying that, he looked at Lu Yu, his eyes filled with gratitude and admiration.

Lu Yu stood not far away, examining the storage soul tool on the middle-aged man's body. Hearing the discussion, he simply smiled and said nothing more.

His attention quickly returned to the center of the battlefield. At this moment, the aftershocks of his battle with the middle-aged man had not completely dissipated. The surrounding trees were scorched black by the power of lightning, and the ground was full of cracks, as if telling the story of the intensity of the battle just now.

The fight with the middle-aged man was far more dangerous than it appeared.

Lu Yu's Jeet Kune Do is incredibly swift, each punch imbued with the power of thunder, the wind from his punches seeming to tear the air apart.

The middle-aged man, a level 47 Soul Master, possessed profound soul power and extremely fast reflexes, constantly resisting Lu Yu's attacks with his high-level soul power.

The two exchanged dozens of blows, their fists and wolf claws clashing, their thunder and soul power colliding, creating a series of booming sounds.

Lu Yu's Soul Skill "Thunderbolt"

Its power was astonishing; each use would freeze the middle-aged man's body for two seconds, depriving him of the chance to retaliate. However, the middle-aged man was of a higher level and had more powerful soul energy, so he was always able to turn danger into safety at crucial moments.

However, as the battle progressed, the middle-aged man gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

He had several charred wounds on his body, his clothes were tattered, and his breathing was disordered.

Lu Yu's fist techniques were unpredictable and his thunderous power was impossible for Lu Yu to defend against.

Whenever he tried to retaliate, Lu Yu's "Thunder" struck.

His soul skill followed him like a shadow, lightning coursing across his body, bringing intense stinging pain.

The middle-aged man frowned, inwardly shocked: "This kid's fist technique... how can it be so strange? His soul skill is even related to lightning, and the power of thunder can actually immobilize me for a short time! If my soul power weren't so much higher than his, I would have been beaten down long ago!"

Seeing the situation was turning against him, a resolute glint flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he uttered a low shout: "Stealth!"

His fourth spirit ring shone brightly, and a strange wolf shadow appeared behind him. His body instantly became blurry, his speed increased dramatically, and he turned into a blur as he flew in the opposite direction, intending to escape!

"Boss, he's trying to escape!"

Wang Sheng, standing at a distance, immediately sensed the middle-aged man's intentions and hurriedly shouted a warning.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu's lips curled into a disdainful sneer: "Run? Do you think you can run away?"

He let out a low shout, unleashing his soul skill, "Sealing Fate."

Activate instantly.

An invisible wave spread out from his body, and the surrounding space seemed to be distorted by some kind of force. The next moment, Lu Yu's figure disappeared into thin air and appeared a few steps behind the middle-aged man in the blink of an eye!
The middle-aged man's pupils contracted sharply, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He never imagined that Lu Yu could instantly traverse a distance of over 160 meters! He exclaimed, "This... what kind of soul skill is this?!"

Without time to think, he gritted his teeth, frantically channeling his soul power, trying to accelerate his escape once more.

However, Lu Yu was faster than him.

Lu Yu suddenly pushed off with his feet, his body shooting out like an arrow, a gleaming dagger appearing in his hand.

"ended."

Lu Yu's voice was cold and calm, carrying an irresistible air of authority.

The dagger sliced ​​through the air, flashing with lightning, and pierced the middle-aged man's back with pinpoint accuracy.

The middle-aged man froze, his eyes filled with disbelief. He trembled as he pointed at Lu Yu, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he let out a low sigh and slowly collapsed.

Lu Yu coldly sheathed his dagger, his gaze sweeping over the middle-aged man's corpse, and said indifferently, "If you take my things, you have to pay the price."

In this world, strength is fundamental.

His voice was deep and cold, as if he were proclaiming some ironclad truth.

Wang Sheng and the others ran over quickly and surrounded Lu Yu.

Xiao Wu asked worriedly, "Boss, are you alright?"

Lu Yu waved his hand to indicate that he was alright, then bent down and took the storage soul tool from the middle-aged man. He skillfully examined it and put the useful items into his pocket.

Just then, Lu Yu's gaze shifted and landed on another group of people not far away.

It was a team of seven or eight people, each with a strong aura. The leader was a level 50 Soul King who stared at Lu Yu and the others with a gloomy gaze, clearly observing the situation.

Lu Yu sneered, his voice laced with provocation: "What? You want to attack us too?"

The leader of the regiment's gaze sharpened as he sensed the chilling killing intent emanating from Lu Yu, and his heart skipped a beat.

He had witnessed Lu Yu's battle with the middle-aged man and seen Wang Sheng's terrifying strength in killing two Soul Masters with a single punch. How could he dare to act rashly now? He quickly waved his hand, forcing a stiff smile: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! We share the same goal as you and would never harm you!"

After saying that, he decisively waved his hand and led his team to retreat quickly, not daring to look back.

After leaving the valley, the group traveled deep into a dense forest. One of the fat Soul Masters in the group couldn't help but complain, "Captain, why are we in such a hurry to leave? Although those kids are tough, there are more of us. If we join forces, we might be able to take them down and make a fortune by robbing them!"

Upon hearing this, the leader glared at him and said sternly, "Shut up! What do you know? That kid named Lu Yu is probably unmatched in the Soul Sect! And that Wang Sheng, his strength can instantly surge to level 50! There are still a few of them who haven't made a move yet, and their strength shouldn't be underestimated! If we offend them, it will be a problem if we can leave alive!"

He paused, his gaze sweeping darkly over the crowd. "Didn't you all realize? Most of those people are from Shrek Academy!"

Shrek Academy?!

Someone in the group gasped in surprise, their eyes wide with shock. (End of Chapter)
